This castle was the witness of the Hundred Years War and remains one of the rare medieval fortified buildings in Ile-de-France
We owe the origins of this fortress to Guy I of Montlhéry, who had a keep and a chapel built in the 11th century. The castle gradually grew until it became the imposing building of which we can contemplate the remains today. The building was the witness of the Hundred Years War and remains, thanks to its intact machicolations, one of the rare medieval fortified buildings of Ile-de-France. Its interior courtyard offers a superb panorama of the Chevreuse valley. The visitor can walk around, climb the ramparts and visit the cellars.

Quel bien m'en a pris.
Quel endroit magnifique !
Le centre-ville, au cadre bucolique, les gens dont on sent chez beaucoup une âme artistique (on trouve ça et là nombre de panneaux invitant à diverses expositions).
Et le château est accessible depuis la ville en quelques centaines de mètres (attention, ça monte !!!)
Pour le coup (la raison m'est encore inconnue à cet instant) un feu d'artifice a été tiré aujourd'hui depuis celui-ci, ajoutant à l'éclairage somptueux de nuit un caractère quasi féerique.
Magnifique endroit.
